About this episode
This episode explores Chelsea Cain's 'Man-Eaters' as a feminist satire and its themes of puberty and societal control.
This week on the podcast, we’re diving into the sharp-toothed, satirical world of Chelsea Cain’s "Man-Eaters." This comic isn’t just a story about girls turning into monstrous wildcats; it’s a masterclass in world-building, mixed-media storytelling, and feminist satire. Chelsea Cain uses a "cat-pocalypse" to tackle heavy themes of puberty, societal control, and gender. Using fake advertisements within the panels are enough of a reason to pick up a copy of this comic. Why Charles thinks cats are better than people. We want to hear from you! Does the satire in Man-Eaters land for you, or do you just come for the incredible creature designs? If your house cat suddenly turned into a panther, what’s the first thing you’d do?
